Anthony Eaton was a force in the middle of the lineup in both games for the Golden Eagles. In a marathon game that ended in a 13-9 loss, the senior collected three hits in four at bats including a double. The hits led to three RBI and he scored one run himself. Eaton also had patience at the plate working a walk. In the following game against Gwynedd Mercy, Eaton continued to display patience by getting on base thanks to two walks and a hit by pitch, one of which led to him scoring a run. Overall, the first baseman finished 3-for-5 with two runs scored, three RBI, three walks and, a hit by pitch.
Trevor McCarthy pitched Brockport to their first win of the season in a convincing 8-0 fashion over Gwynedd Mercy University. The junior threw 7.0 shutout innings, while giving up only three hits. Four of the seven innings he pitched were 1-2-3 innings as he struck out eight batters, walking only two.
